Rockingham Castle Country Show closes early after rain and bad weather




With half a month’s rainfall falling over two days at the weekend, Rockingham Castle Country Show was forced to close nearly four hours earlier than scheduled.

Organisers Oakleigh Fairs took the decision to close the two-day show at 1.15pm on Sunday because of the weather conditions.

A spokesman for Oakleigh Fairs said: “By Sunday lunchtime conditions were so bad that we had no choice but to cancel the event at that stage.

“It was so wet on both days. I think we had some of the heaviest rainfalls in the country.

“It was a testing weekend. It was just one of those things that you have to put behind you and look ahead to next year.”

It had been the 11th year of the show.
